ACCUSES MARSHAL
CAREY OF CRUELTY
Official Replies That Author of
Charge Should Be Run Out
of Emeryville
OAKLAND, March 17.— Charges of
brutality, false arrest and. attempted
extortion were made today against
Marshal Edward Carey of Emery ville
by. D. H. Thompson of 1520 Park ave
nue..These charges are contained in
an affidavit that Thompson made and
which will be presented to the grand
jury at the next meeting of that body.
On the other hand Carey declares
that Thompson, who is an old man,
should be run out of town, declaring
that he has given money to young girls
and has come under the ban "of Miss
Beatrice McCall, probation officer, for
such . offenses. Carey says that he
fears no investigation, but will produce
testimony that will prove Thompson to
be morally debased.
The substance of Thompson's affida
vit is that Carey has arrested him
twice, treating . him brutally on both
occasions, and , without reason. . Both
charges against him were dismissed, he
declares. On the occasion of the first
arrest, he says, Carey seized him by
the throat, kicked and struck him and
maimed him- for life. This arrest,
Thompson relates, f ollowsd his giving
shelter to three women in Emeryville
who had lived in the "Bucket of Blood"
saloon and had been made destitute
when that saloon was burned. .
"I am prepared to go before the
grand jury and show Thompson's char
acter," Carey said today. "My first
contact with him came as the result of
a complaint made by Miss McCall that
youngr girls should' be protected from
him. She induced Judge Ogden to.sub
pena him and I served the subpena.
From that time he began to vilify,
abuse and threaten me, until I. arrested
him. But I had the charge against
him dismissed later, thinking that he
had been punished enough and would
behava himself. He did not, and two
months ago I was called to the Vic
toria hotel because some drunken peo
ple were making a disturbance and
breaking furniture. I found them to
be Thompson, another man and a
woman, all of whom I placed under ar
rest The other man and the woman
were convicted, but, Thompson was re
leased on their testimony. ;
"He is notorious in Emeryville and
should be run out of town."

to Be a Candidate for
i President
OAKLAND, March 17.— Agitation over
presidential candidates at the forth
coming election of the Oakland club
was stilled today by announcement of
the positive refusal of Mrs. C. S. Cham
berlain to permit her name to be con
sidered. "Word came from her In a
letter to Mrs. Leon Hall, the incum
bent head of the woman's organization,
whose friends desire that she shall
succeed herself. «V
Mrs. Chamberlain has been In Los
Angeles for some time, following her
return from an eastern trip, and had
not heard until recently of the effort
to place her in the presidency of the
club, which she had helped to found.
Her declination of the opportunity to
run as a candidate Is said to leave
the way clear for Mrs. Hall's re
election, although there Is a bit of
opposition, which has not been quieted
even by the unequivocal stand taken
by Mrs. Chamberlain.
Friends of Mrs. Hall were Jubilant
today over the change in the situation.
as were also many members of the
club who were not directly concerned
in the contest that threatened consid
erable disturbance. Mrs. Hall's sup
porters insist that her fight Is now
won. ';*;;-\u25a0 ?*;•"'**

FOR THE PUBLIC
-\ew Formula Cares Couch*. Colds,
Bronchitis and Hoarseness
in Five Hoars
Much is being done In these days to
atop the ravages of consumption, but
probably nothing has been bo effective
teaching the public how to break up
a cold and cure coughs, bronchitis, ton-
sllitis. etc., with simple home mixed
medicine. A laxative cough syrup, free
from whiskey, la the prime need. A
cough indicates inflammation and con-
gestion and these in turn are due to an
excess of waste and poisons in the sys-
tem." A tonic laxative cough syrup rids
the system of congestion, while reliev-
ing the painful coughing. Get the fol-
lowing and mix at home: One-half
ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce
compound essence of cardlol and three
ounces syrup white pine compound,
fahake the bottle and take twenty drops
every half hour tot four hours. Then
one-half to one teaspoontal three or
four times daily. Give children less-
according to age. Cut this out and
save it for some friend.
